PICKING BONES FROM ASH is out in stores!

I was lucky enough to read this one in manuscript form, and loved it for reasons besides the fact that Marie's descriptions of Japan are so beautifully evocative. If you're looking for a lovely literary experience--particularly if you're interested in mother/daughter relationships--I can't recommend it highly enough. Here's what other reviewers are saying.

The Largehearted Boy blog asks authors to develop a playlist of music which relates to their book. Here's the playlist for Picking Bones from Ash, with "liner notes" (I guess you could call them) from Marie Mutsuki Mockett.

Hey! Thanks, everyone! And congrats to you, Stuart. In a funny way, I feel like we are publishing siblings (thanks to Moonrat) and I hope you let me know you swing through NYC next time. Because there will be a next time. ;-)

And thanks JES for pointing out the playlist. It was loads of fun for me to create.

Also, we at Coral Press love the idea of the playlist to go with the book. We've actually been working on exactly that recently: see one we made for our book Cutting Time, for example. Props to Largehearted Boy for using such a great promotional tool.
